Personal Injury Attorney in Turlock

Turlock is located in Stanislaus County with an estimated population of a little over 70,000 people. It is the second largest city in the county after Modesto. Turlock lies between Modesto and Merced at the intersection of Route 99 and Route 165. It is about 16.9 square miles and comprised entirely of land.

Turlock has a hot climate. Its summers are mostly dry. However, its winters are wet and a bit cooler. The city was founded in 1871 when construction of the Central Pacific Railroad had reached a station named after Turlough in County Mayo, Ireland. As a result, the new railroad town was named Turlock.

Turlock’s Growth

Turlock became prosperous and extremely busy. However, it did not become officially incorporated until 1908. When it did, it had an extensive agricultural industry. It also was believed to have the most churches per capita in the United States during the 1930s. There are various religious centers in the city including:

Sikh

Assyrian Christians

Protestants

Mormons

Roman Catholics

Turlock found itself in the midst of history again during World War II when the government was placing Japanese Americans in internment camps. The Stanislaus County Fairgrounds became one of 15 temporary assembly centers to hold Japanese Americans during this period. In the 1980s, 90s, and 2000s, Turlock has experienced a boom in the retail and residential sector. It has also seen much urban growth.
